• Raise the blade arbor to its maximum by rotating the control wheel (11)
clockwise (fig. A1).
• Place the saw blade onto the spindle in the order shown in figure B1.
The outer fiange (20) has a ø 30 mm raised boss which fits inside the
blade bore. Make sure the teeth point down at the front of the table.
• Hold the spindle using the open-ended wrench and tighten the arbor
nut (21) by rotating clockwise using the arbor wrench (fig. B2).
• To remove the blade, proceed in reverse order.
WARNING: Always check the rip fence pointer and the riving knife after
having changed the blade.
Adjusting the saw blade (fig. A2 & B3)
For optimum performance, the blade must be parallel to the mitre slots.
This adjustment has been made at the factory. To re-adjust:
• Turn the saw on its side.
• Using a 10 mm Allen key, slacken the bracket fasteners (22) slightly
(fig. B3).
• Adjust the bracket (23) until the blade is parallel to the fence slot (18)
(fi g. A2).
• Tighten the bracket fasteners (22) to 11 Nm (fig. B3).
Blade height adjustment (fi g. A1)
The blade can be raised and lowered by turning the combined elevating
and bevel control wheel (11).
• Make sure the top three teeth of the blade are just breaking through
the upper surface of the workpiece when sawing. This will ensure
that the maximum number of teeth are removing material at any
given time, thus giving optimum performance.
Mounting the riving knife (fi g. A1 & C)
• Raise the blade arbor to its maximum by rotating the blade height
adjustment wheel (11) clockwise (fi g. A1).
• Slacken the locking bolt (24) a few turns using the supplied wrench
(fi g. C).
• Push and hold the bolt (24) inwards to release the spring-loaded
clamping mechanism.
• Align the slot (25) with the bolt (24) and insert the riving knife until the
top of the slot rests on the knob.
• Release the bolt (24) and tighten securely using the supplied wrench.
WARNING:
• When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the
blade at the table top and at the top of the blade. Check
using a straight edge in all bevel and blade height positions.
• Do not attempt to fix the riving knife in any other position
than recommended. The distance between the riving knife
and the tips of the blade teeth must be at least 2.0 mm.
• Correct mounting and alignment of the upper blade guard (6)
on the riving knife is essential to safe operation!
• It is not allowed to fit a different riving knife to the
specification delivered with a thickness of 2.3 mm.
Fixing to Workbench (fi g. A2)
• The machine frame between the feet on each side (17) is provided
with two holes which allow fixing on a workbench. Use the holes
diagonally.
• To improve the handling fix the machine on a piece of plywood of min
15 mm thick.
• When in use the plywood sheet can be clamped to the workbench.
This allows easier transportation of the machine, by releasing the
clamps.
Mounting the table insert (fi g. D)
• Align the table insert (7) as shown and insert the tabs of the back of
the table insert into the holes on the back of the table.
• Press down the front of the table insert.
• The front of the table insert must be fiush or slightly below the table
top. The rear should be fiush with the table top. Adjust using the four
adjustment screws (26).
• Turn the locking screw (see insert in fi g. D) clockwise 90° to lock the
table insert in place.
WARNING: Never use the machine without the table insert. Immediately
replace the table insert when worn or damaged.
Mounting the upper blade guard (fi g. E)
• Fasten the guard (6) to the riving knife (5) with the bolt (27).
• Place the washer (28 & 29) and wingnut (30) onto the other end of
the bolt and tighten.
WARNING: The saw blade MUST be replaced as described
in this section. ONLY use saw blades as specified under
Technical Data. We suggest DT4226. NEVER fit other saw
blades.
Mounting and adjusting the parallel fence (fi g. A1, F1 & F2)
The rip fence (8) can be installed on the left or right side of your table
saw.
• Locate the screw (31) with the slot (32) in the rip fence.
• Secure the rip fence by snapping both latches (33) in place.
Adjusting the fence parallel to the blade
The fence has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as
follows:
• Set the saw blade to its highest position.
• Remove the upper blade guard (6).
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Unlock the rail lock lever (13).
• Move the fence (8) until it touches the blade.
• Check that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Using an Allen key, loosen the adjustment screw (31) locating the
fence to the fence rail.
• Adjust the fence parallel to the blade.
• Tighten the adjustment screw.
• Lock the rail lock lever and check that the fence is parallel to the
blade.
• Be sure to replace the blade guard after the adjustment.
WARNING: If there is not enough travel in the pinion bearing
assembly, take the unit to an authorized D
EWALT repair
agent.
Adjusting the rip scale
The rip scale reads correctly only when the fence is mounted to the right
of the blade.
• Check that the pointer (9) indicates zero on the scale when the fence
is just touching the blade. If the pointer does not indicate exactly
zero, loosen the screws (34), move the pointer to read 0 and tighten
the screws.
Bevel stop and pointer adjustment (fig. G1 & G2)
• Set the saw blade to its highest position.
• Unlock the bevel lock lever (12) by pushing it up and to the right.
• Loosen the bevel stop screw (35).
• Place a set square (36) on the table and up against the blade (37).
• Adjust the bevel angle using the bevel lock lever (12) until the blade
is fiat against the square.
• Tighten the bevel lock lever (12).
• Turn the bevel stop cam (38) until it firmly contacts the bearing block.
• Check the bevel angle scale. If adjustment is required, loosen the
pointer screw (39) and set the pointer to 0°.
